In the 1920's the american dream represented being able to come to a new country and become something of yourself. However, the american dream has changed very much. We no longer have desire to work hard to obtain luxuries. On the other hand, we seek the "fast money". Our generation's sole purpose in life is to get money; whether it be through drugs, sex, music or art. In the picture above, it is symbolic how the girl has a rosary on her legs. God is below the sign which says "Money. Kush. Sex. Music. Art." We put our riches and desires before god. The American Dream has gone from a hardworking mentality to a sex-based foundation.
